Application filed February 7,1913. Serial No. 746,893.

of Kansas, have invented new and useful Improvements in Screens, of which the following is a specification.

The invention relates to screens and more particularly to screens for use on door and window casings and has for an object to provide a screen of sim la and durable construction and which w' 1 effective appearance.

r The-invention embodies among other fea-v tures the use of the screen frame of the usual construction and upon which the screen wire is placed withmetallic mold strips for 0011-.

motion with the screen frame and adapted to cover the edges of the'screen and retain 2o the'screen rigidl on the frame, said metallic mold 'str1ps eing' shaped to present a neat and effective. appearance when applied to the screen frame.

In the further disclosure of the inyention reference 'is to be had to' the accomthis specification, in which similar characters of, reference denote corresponding.

. parts in all the views, and in which: 1

Figure liis, a fragmentary perspective view ofthe completed screen; Fig. 2 is a transverse sectional view on the line 22 in Fig. 1; Fig. 3 is a longitudinal sectional view on the line 3 3 in Fig. 1; and Fig. 4 is a fragmentary perspective view of one of the mold strips.

Referring more particularly to the views, I disclose a screen 10 consisting of the usual rectangular screen frame 11 provided with a continuous recess 12 in which are received the ends of the usual screen wire 13, the screen being applied to the screen frame 11 in the usual manner as shown. Mold strips 14 are adapted for connection with the screen frame 11 to ri idly secure the wire 13 thereto and each 0 the said mold strips consists of ametallic body 15 preferably stamped or pressed from sheet metal and having a medial longitudinal bulging portion 16- as' shown, thus providing parallel longitudinal strips or members 17 on both sides of the bulgingv ortion 16, triangular shaped openings 18, eing formed in the strip members 17 by stamping out triangular shaped pieces 19 from the strip members present a neatand the screen frame 11 and cover the ed es-ofl" .the' screen wire 13, after which sulteble tacks 21 are driven transversely through ilihe.v

17 the said pieces 19 projecting downwardly Pat nted Sept. e, 1913. 7

beneath the openings formed when the 7, pieces 19 are struck from the strip members.

In constructing the,mold strip's 14, a series of serrations 20 are formed on-the under sides of the strip members 17 as shown, the

said serrations being preferablj. pointed for a purpose that will be hereinafter mercifully discussed.

The mold strips 14 are' a'ppl-ied to the screen frame- 11 m the manherdisclos'ed in the figures, so that the strip';-members'17 will repose in the continuous'recess 12in openings 18 and the'screen wire13 with'the pointed ends of the tacks extending into the screen frame llzthus not only rigidly securing the screen wire to; the frame, but also securing the mold strips 14 ri idlyon the I to Figs. 2 an 3 t will be the tacks in position to accomplish the purs poses for WlllCh they areprovided. It will be further seen that whenthe screen 10 is completed, the strip members "17 will lie flush with the upper face of. the screen frame and by providing the'medial longitudinally extending bul 'ing portion 16, the/mold -strips 14. will be given additional. strength and will furthermore resent aneat and effective appearance. order to "prevent the-screen wire from tearing away from between the .screen frame 11 and the mold strips 14, the serrations 20 are provided'to' screen frame 11 thus greatly increasing the.

securing area of the mold strips 14.
